How to Choose the Right Hat for Your Face Shape

Find Your Perfect Fit with Pinnaclesway

Wearing a hat is more than just topping off your outfit—it’s about enhancing your natural features and expressing your personal style. But here’s the secret most people don’t know: the right hat depends on your face shape.

At Pinnaclesway, we help you find not just a hat, but your hat. Read on to discover how to choose the perfect style that complements your face shape and elevates your look.

 1. Oval Face

Lucky you! An oval face is considered the most versatile shape—most hat styles will suit you.

Best Hats:

• Fedora

• Cloche

• Bucket hat

• Wide-brim hats

Avoid hats that sit too high on your head—they can elongate your face unnecessarily.

2. Round Face

Round faces have soft curves and equal width and length. The goal is to add angles and height.

Best Hats:

• Fedora with a high crown

• Trilby

• Angular newsboy caps

• Panama hats

Avoid round, dome-shaped hats like beanies and wide, round crowns—they exaggerate the roundness.

3. Square Face

Strong jawline, broad forehead, and straight lines? You’ve got a square face. Go for softer shapes.

Best Hats:

• Floppy hats

• Round bowlers

• Wide-brim fedoras

• Curved berets

Avoid: Boxy or structured hats that emphasize angles.

4. Heart-Shaped Face

Wider forehead, narrow chin—you want balance by drawing attention downward.

Best Hats:

• Cloche hats

• Medium-brim fedoras

• Beanies worn back on the head

• Baseball caps with low-profile crowns

Avoid tall crowns or wide brims that make the forehead look broader.

5. Long/Rectangular Face

This shape benefits from wider brims and shorter crowns to add width and minimize height.

Best Hats:

• Wide-brim hats

• Bucket hats

• Berets

• Boater hats

Avoid tall crowns or narrow styles that make your face look longer.

Final Tips for Everyone

• Try before you buy—use mirrors and natural lighting to get a true feel.

• Pay attention to proportion—your hat should balance your body size and hairstyle.

• Color matters—choose shades that complement your skin tone and wardrobe.

• Own it with confidence—no hat works if you don’t wear it like you mean it.
